% shows all kind of errors at the end of a run (relative new feature, 
dedicated to taco)

\enabledirectives[logs.errors]

% quite old feature

\enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace]

% or (deleting them)

\enabletrackers[fonts.missing]

% so:

\starttext

     here we \char 999 go

\stoptext

% will report errors

If you compile the latest luatex you will get a report anyway.

This is *really* useful.

Some missing glyphs can be corrected by putting certain characters in
math mode (surrounded by $…$); others might need a special construction
(such as \topaccent); still others might call for the use of a more
complete font, eventually substitution.
